Yes, it might be a clich\u00e9, but it has never been truer for New Zealanders as we work to stitch communities back together after Cyclone Gabrielle.<\/p><p>Every little bit helps too. Which is why here in Palmerston North we\u2019re working to support the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) by packing food boxes and care kits to go out to the people of Tair\u0101whiti Gisborne.<\/p><p>So far RRT volunteers have packed over 1000 boxes of much-needed food supplies. These boxes have been flown over to Wairoa \u2013 now one of the most isolated townships in New Zealand after flood waters ravaged the road.<\/p><p>It truly is an effort by many. Along with support from the New Zealand Food Network and Civil Defence (and the skills of pilot Jessica Smith from Taupo Tandem Skydiving and a trusty Cessna Caravan), RRT was able to drop the resources in areas that were inaccessible directly after the flooding.<\/p><p>Matt and Garth from Universal Packaging were amongst those packing boxes in the distribution centre.<\/p><p>\u201cIt (the flooding) was an enormous event which is demanding an equally big response,\u201d says Matt. \u201cThis will only be the start of what\u2019s needed in the days, weeks and years ahead.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cAs you pack each box you\u2019re acutely aware of where it will be heading \u2013 and how those receiving one may have lost such a huge amount,\u201d says Garth. \u201cIt\u2019s good to be part of such a positive response, and a responsibility we don\u2019t take lightly.\u201d<\/p><p>Devastating can only begin to describe the impact on these communities.
